Domés International Review of Architecture, following the program ROOM18: The New Urban Hotel (April – November 2016), are launching the program COOK8: The New Dining Place. COOK8 consists of four actions (Competition – Conference – Exhibition – Publication) which aim to formulate and implement new ideas about the gathering of people on the occasion of the preparation and consumption of food as means of socialization.

Competition:

The program begins with an International Design Competition (21.11.2017 – 08.02.2018), about the design of an interior dining space for 8 people, of an area of 24-30m2. What is looked for is the creative re-interpretation and overtaking of the usual approaches which are a function of the conventional building and management arrangements of catering premises (private or communal dining-room, commercial restaurant, café, cafeteria, snack-bar, fast food outlet, canteen, etc.).

Three prizes (2,000€ each) and six honorable memos will be awarded. The three awarded entries will be realised on full scale (1:1), at the Benaki Museum.

Everyone active in the fields of architectural design, interior design, art installations, stage design, decoration and related activities is qualified to take part in the competition.

Registration:

– early bird: 40 € from 21/11/2017 to 31/12/2017
